A review by dame_samara
The Golden Enclaves by Naomi Novik
3.0
I'm torn in regards to this book because there were parts that I really liked, and then there were other parts that left the nastiest taste in my mouth.
With the gut-wrenching ending of The Last Graduate, I wasn't exactly expecting it to be all sunshine and roses. On the contrary, I was expecting quite a bit of grief and further trauma, to be honest, which I got in spades.
Novak did a good job wrapping up many of the plot threads she had laid out for us; some of them had been laid out so long ago that they had easily slid under the radar. But how she chose to wrap up one, in particular, has had me grinding my teeth for weeks.
